Free and Reduced Lunch Count or same measure collected through a survey 2. Extrapolated method 3. Low-income percentage - Rockwood economic deprivation percentages are automatically applied to Nonpublic population during registration. 4. An equated measure of low income 5. Comparable poverty data from a different source. *The public school, after consultation with the nonpublic school, shall have the final authority to decide with method is used. DESE’s explanation of each method can be found here: https://dese.mo.gov/sites/default/files/qs-fc-Nonpublic-Low-Income-and-Residential-Verification-2020.pdf Option #1 must be used if you participate in the free and reduced lunch program.
